wednesday.
1t was fashionable and brilliant audi
ence that was gathered at the opera house
Wedn ssday to witness the commencement
exercises of the University of Texas. On
the stage were Governor Ross, Chief JUS
tice Willie, the members of the board of
regents, Hon. o. II. Cooper, the members
of the faculty, Rev. DR.. Smoot and the
speakers for the day.
The exercises were opened with an i'm
pressive prayer, by DR.. Smoot, and after
music, Dr.. Waggener introduced Mr.Andrew
Lee Jackson, representative of the Uni
versity, who delivered a strong Grafton,
taking for his theme, Public Opinion"
Mr.. jackson spoke we'll and his address
was received with marked favor, as was
evidenced by the applause accorded to it.
Mr.. Lobel Alva Carlton, repre-
sentative of the academic department,
spoke next and handled his subject, "Com-
plicity," in forceful style and with vigor-
Gus expression. His argument against
the countenancing of frauds and sham
was we'll applied, and his whole chain OF
thought was we'll linked. The last
speaker, Mr.. william Jordan j.
Smith, representative of the law
department discussed the agencies that
exalt state" and in the course of his re-
marks branched out into consideration of
some of the live questions that have been
